CBTE

CBExchange is the premier conference for leaders who recognize that individuals should advance in work and education based on their skills.

Advancement in education and career should be based on what you can do – known as competencies – or the set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that lay the foundation for your success. C-BEN is driving transformation in learning and hiring systems, changing not just how we define competency, but also how we design learning, and assess for skills.

What makes CBExchange unique is the wide breadth of attendees at the intersection of learning and work using skills to create better futures. Our annual conference is where passion, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence combine to create a better path forward — because we all deserve an approach to recognizing skills that works for everyone.

C-BEN convenes the network annually at CBExchange to energize everyone invested in a shift to a skills-based system, making CBExchange the premiere event for change-makers who are committed to driving these transformations. Attendees include post-secondary faculty and administrators, K-12 teachers and district leaders, human resource managers, learning and development officers, curriculum development specialists, researchers, industry/employers, and policy leaders from around the globe.

We hope you will plan to join us!
